The off-grid solar streetlight service provider has announced the installation of 40 solar-powered lights in a new housing development in the Texas capital, and says it has deployed 13,000 such systems in 10 states across the Sun Belt.

The funds represent the final piece of the capital stack for the 674 MW Cider Solar project in Genesee County.

The company’s balcony solar solution is now available via direct purchase or in kits from partner installers and distributors.

The Canadian Renewable Energy Association is forecasting Canada’s cumulative solar capacity, which stands at 5.4 GW today, could surge to around 21 GW by 2035, driven by a healthy procurement pipeline across most provinces. Official deployment figures for behind the meter solar installations last year, which are driving Canada’s solar market today, are yet to be finalized.

The company, known for its “one-stop shop” solar solutions, says it will integrate the former autonomous mowing company’s technology into its Plant Wide Controller (PWC) network.

The U.S. International Trade Commission issued an initial determination finding that Voltage Energy’s new trunk-bus design does not infringe on patents held by Shoals Technologies.

The agreement secures American-made LFP battery supply for Qcells’ utility-scale projects from 2028 to 2030, reinforcing a shared commitment to domestic manufacturing.

The Silicon Valley startup, led by former Tesla Energy executive Kunal Girotra, says the funding will support product innovation and expansion of its operations and manufacturing base.

The California-based solar and storage provider is seeking to raise more than $1.2 million to fund the development of its “Real Goods” hardware line and an AI-driven software hub.

The new Tesla Solar Panel and mounting system pairs with the company’s inverter, Powerwall battery, EV charging and vehicles, creating an all-Tesla residential solar offering for the first time.

PowerBank Corporation, a North American developer and operator of solar and battery energy storage projects, reported $22.3 million in revenue for the first half of its fiscal year and secured new credit facilities to expand its project pipeline.

The pivot toward “targeted” metal duties could offer a vital pressure-release valve for a solar industry struggling with historic hardware price spikes.

A market-rate, subsidy-free solar-plus-storage microgrid in downtown Portland highlights how grid-forming buildings can overproduce clean power, island during outages and work around strict interconnection limits.

The guidance covers requirements in the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act to establish methods to determine whether a clean energy facility or manufactured component was produced using material assistance from a prohibited foreign entity.

In a move described as the “single largest deregulatory action in U.S. history,” the EPA has rescinded the 2009 finding that greenhouse gases threaten public health, a decision that could dismantle the legal justification for federal solar incentives and emissions standards.

Adding 78 GW more solar and 54 GW more battery storage in the PJM grid region than projected in a status quo scenario would drive a 20% reduction in system costs and improve reliability through 2035, says a study. The study’s sponsor called for enabling policies to improve interconnection and permitting, with roles for both PJM and states.

New data out of Modo Energy suggests only about 85% of large batteries with signed interconnection agreements are likely to be built, as queue timelines stretch beyond four years.

HB 434 seeks to modernize how the state’s major utilities manage their infrastructure.

New Jersey is now a “top ten” state for interconnecting distributed solar and storage, said nonprofit group IREC, as projects with an export capacity of up to 2 MW will now qualify for a more streamlined interconnection process.

Declining costs for enhanced geothermal could make the technology a stronger competitor to solar plus storage. A national lab atlas shows wide potential for enhanced geothermal deployment, primarily in the Western U.S.
